It don’t feel like it’s a year since last New Years Eve, but I don’t think my calendar is lying to me…
One year.
Twelve months.
Three hundred and sixty five days.
Two hundred and seventy one blog posts, including this one.
Spring has sprung, summer has come and gone, and winter is upon us again – at least for those of us on the northern hemisphere. For my friends and readers down below, reverse the order of seasons.
Shaving is still enjoyable, my favourite shaving forum still is full of good friends, and I’ve meet a lot of nice people on Twitter too.

…a tingling PREP shave
I have to admit that until I stumbled over this vintage advertisement I had never even heard about this brand – and as excited the guy seems, I want to try it now.
Poking online I do see that there is a brand of the same name that is still available, and that claims to hark back to the 1860’s… it is tempting to see if I can score some.
Update: After talking with @ShavingZA on Twitter, I got more than tempted – so I ordered some from the UK. Watch this space!
No shave of the day 25th December
It’s Christmas Day; a day to lounge around, eat ourselves sick and be with family while still in PJs…
